[QUOTE="britz, post: 244044, member: 7865"] You will hear many ideas about what you "need" and what you "should have". I guess you'll just have to wade through the muck yourself Lol ;) If you want to get into LRShooting I think a Lee Challenger kit would be an OK starting point. The scale is cheezy, but works, powder dump is very adaquate since you will likely be weighing all powder charges anyway. As for dies, part of me says to just purchase a cheap set of Redding or RCBS FL and seater die (2 die kit) - > you can upgrade later if you like. A standard stainless steel caliper .001" accuracy A COAL guage adapter (hornady, sinclair... just something to measure the bullet to ogive rather than tip) It all depends on your price range. The lee press is a little flimsy, but I've loaded with one for 15 years replacing it w/ a RCBS Rock chucker IV (should have got a Redding Big Boss II ). Digital scales are nice for sorting brass, the Chargmaster would be nice for quick volume loading. Primer pocket uniformer and a inside primer pocket deburring tool are both nice. where does one end??? A GOOD LOADING BOOK IS A MUST !!! read it twice and then recite it. if you can't than read it again! some of these books really do a good job teaching you the basics. good luck, Mark. [/QUOTE]
